Description Giovanni M. 2009-04-03 16:35:44 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I've just added a top panel to my amazing KDE4 enviroment, and I selected "Windows can cover" option. Everything work fine but, for example, when I've a maximized window that cover the panel, if the mouse touches the screen top border the panel magically appears on top of the focused window.

The thing that annoy me most is that if, for example, I want to minimize or close the window have to be careful not to touch the edge of the screen or the panel goes over the buttons ... very stressful!

So my wish is: Can you put a delay time for panel to appear or the possibility to disable this feature?

Thank You

This happens when the panel is on top right?

This happens always. In the kde forum I've posted some screenshots to clarify my issue.

I forgot to specify that this also happens with kde 4.3.0.

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
